"Why?" Zhao Shu asked.
Qi Chong didn't mince words and said directly, "Your two senior sisters caused your mother to bury her child, and she probably harbors resentment in her heart."
"The murderer who killed my mother has not yet been brought to justice. Does my martial uncle not want to help me find the murderer?" She deliberately provoked Zhen Qizhong.
Zhen Qizhong smiled nonchalantly after hearing this, "There is no murderer, don't waste your energy. Go back and live a good life. I will tell my mother that you came."
"I was ambushed when I arrived. The assassin wore a hydrangea mask. Since my martial uncle acknowledges me as his nephew, why not inform her? Perhaps my grandmaster would be willing to see me?"
Zhen Qizhong still smiled faintly, "If I don't let you in, you'll force your way in, won't you?" These words seemed to be directed at Wei Tingsi, her gaze falling on him, "You entered the manor just now, and I didn't pursue the matter because of your mother's kindness. Listen to me, go back."
Wei Tingsi's eyes sharpened instantly. He had just noticed the Qimen Dunjia and traps in the courtyard, but he was confident that he could lead Zhao Shu to break through the traps unharmed. He just didn't expect Zhen Qizhong to be so arrogant and to have discovered them.
"I'm afraid we can't go back," Wei Tingsi said, giving Zhen Qizhong a deep look.
Zhen Qizhong narrowed her eyes, her gaze passing over Zhao Shu and the others, and looking at the black-clad men rushing towards them in the distance. These black-clad men were extremely rampant, attempting to kill and set fires in broad daylight.
"Come in quickly." Zhen Qizhong didn't care about anything else. The men in black came in a fierce manner, numbering at least several hundred. She wondered who had such power to summon hundreds of men in black in broad daylight.
What's infuriating is that this place is sparsely populated, and hardly anyone comes back on weekdays.
Zhao Shu and the other two followed Zhen Qizhong into Wangbei Residence. As soon as the gate closed, Zhen Qizhong said urgently, "Let's go quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dense barrage of arrows shot in. The boy, however, was quite skilled and protected Zhen Qizhong as they rushed inside.
With Wei Tingsi protecting her, Zhao Shu couldn't get involved, so she took a few arrows for Su Qiu.
Since we had come to the inner courtyard along the path, we didn't have time to appreciate the scenery along the way. Now that we were in the inner courtyard, the furnishings were very simple. Apart from a few clusters of hydrangeas, there were no other plants. Under the hydrangeas was a small pond with a few koi carp in it.
There are also stone tables and benches by the small pond.
Zhao Shu's gaze fell on the hydrangea, and she reached out to touch it. "I didn't expect there to be hydrangeas here. I've heard that Empress Yide also loved hydrangeas very much."
Zhen Qizhong's smile remained unchanged, as if nothing could make him lose his smile. "My senior sister didn't originally like this flower very much, but since my mother liked it, she liked it too."
"Empress Yide is truly filial. Compared to her, my mother is far inferior."
Looking beyond the moon gate on the other side, one sees nothing but hydrangeas outside.
